What is Embodiment?

Embodiment is an experience, an ongoing practice and exploration with the capacity to deepen relationship with self and others. While embodiment involves various types of awarenesses (interoceptive, exteroceptive, proprioceptive, neuroceptive) it’s also the experience of aliveness, our capacity to live consciously in our corporeal body when our physiological functioning allows. This affords us connection with our body’s wisdom, our chi, our life force, one’s core sense of self, to feel more equipped to ride the waves of life with more sustainability, nourishment and satisfaction.

The experience of embodiment includes a variety of movement expressions: steady, present, ready, solid, expressive, an aliveness that is not just calm or restorative. When we sense overwhelm, which happens because we are human beings who experience varying degrees of stressful times, our capacity to be present and engaged decreases as survival or defense mechanisms create physiological changes for survival.

We learn how okay it is to embody, to be present in an exploratory way, to live with a variety of movement expressions, during our earliest experiences of life. The degree to which our early relational experiences and environments tended to our physiological and relational needs to connect and separate, as well as our multi-generational patterning, set a foundation for our nervous system patterning, movement expression, and relational dances.

However, no one gets what is ideal. Sometimes we need reparative experiences to reconnect with our core self in an effort for a more embodied and present journey through life along with healthier relational dances with others. A robust movement vocabulary, exploring a rich quality of embodiment based on developmental and relational patterns, helps us to be who we could be if we are loved no matter what.

M-Bodied Coaching offers attachment-based, reparative somatic movement practices that celebrate all feelings as well as all movement expressions. This body-mind-spirit approach helps clients to learn how their feelings and body wisdom serve as signals toward deep nourishment rather than symptoms to shut down.

M-Bodied Coaching is grounded in the principles and practices of the trauma healing and mindful embodiment method Chi for Two®, an ISMETA Approved Training Program.

Chi for Two (Chi meaning energy, Two meaning relational) is a synthesis of many trauma healing modalities and offers that “trauma” is less about what happened and more about the inhibited movement expression.

Chi for Two offers "trauma healing" as the awakening of the movements that have become inhibited over many, many generations, and the integrating of those movements into our movement vocabulary mobilized by the nervous system state Play/Dance. Therefore, trauma healing can become health-creating.

“This is your body, your greatest gift, pregnant with wisdom you do not hear, grief you thought was forgotten, and joy you have never known.”
